From Piloting Innovation
to Boosting Commercialization

November 4th 2024

BARCELONA

About

In this year’s Smart City Business Day, we leave out theoretical and systematic discussions, and focus on what difference we can make on the Business Day itself, and in the year to come. Taking those innovations that have been proven in pilots and are ready to be scaled as a starting point, we put the minds of our 350 attendees to work to break down the key barriers that block these innovations from commercial success.

This year’s theme From Piloting Innovation to Boosting Commercialization will be showcased in five tracks: Sustainable Built Environment, Energy Infrastructure, Mobility, Urban Data, and Social Innovation. Join to experience a full day or interactive sessions, pitching, 1:1 meetings, and site visits organized by the Nordic and Dutch Smart City delegations.
